Michael Yeckley listens to the proceedings Wednesday in Lake County Common Pleas Court as he is sentenced by Judge Joe Gibson to nine years in prison for committing sex crimes against teenage girls in Eastlake and Mentor.

A 13-year-old girl confronted Michael Yeckley Wednesday in Lake County Common Pleas Court for taking her innocence away at a Mentor motel.

"I was planning on sharing that special moment with someone special -- not a rapist," the victim said as tears rolled down her face.

Yeckley, 22, of Willowick, was sentenced Wednesday to nine years in prison for committing sex crimes against teenaged girls in Eastlake and Mentor. Once out of prison, he also will have to register as a sexual offender for life.

On April 22, he made a sexual video with the intoxicated 13-year-old victim while several other juveniles watched.

At the time, he was on bond for engaging in sexual conduct in an Eastlake parking lot with a 15-year-old girl he met through Facebook on Nov. 1, 2011.

"He hangs out with a bunch of girls my age," said the 13-year-old.

But the victim's ordeal is far from over.

The youngest victim said she is constantly bullied at school -- enduring rape jokes -- and has been threatened on Facebook since the incident.

"I live in constant fear of getting beat up," she said. "People hate me for something that isn't my fault. I feel I will never have a normal life. I feel like I have no friends."

The girl added that she has considered suicide over the assault.

The other victim did not attend the hearing but her grandmother spoke on her behalf.

"You are a low-life rapist," she told Yeckley. "I hope that you rot in hell."

Yeckley, in court with attorney Joseph Morse, apologized for his actions.

"I know I hurt a lot of people," he said.

He pleaded guilty in November before Judge Joe Gibson to unlawful sexual conduct with a minor, pandering obscenity involving a minor and sexual battery.

The maximum possible sentence was 14 1/2 years, but the prosecutor recommended eight years.

"This is not your fault that you are here," said Gibson. "You will win this fight. Mr. Yeckley, these children are stronger than you thought they were. These children had the strength to stand up to you."
